Speeding SUV crashes into roof of St. Louis home – KMOV.com

Fire crews were called to a bizarre scene in St. Louis’ Walnut Park West neighborhood on Sunday, where a car became trapped in the roof of a house.

The incident happened around one p.m. in the five thousand nine hundred block of Lillian. According to the St. Louis Fire Department, no one was in the house at the time of the accident, but one person was trapped inwards of the car.

The St. Louis Fire Department said in a Facebook post that one person was rescued from the vehicle and taken to an area hospital in critical condition.

Larry Davis witnessed exactly how it unfolded.

“I’ll tell you I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. and I very likely won’t ever see it again,” said Davis.

He said it happened just after he got out of church on Sunday morning, which is located at the corner of that intersection. He embarked going Facebook Live on the scene.

Davis explained to News four that the car was driving at high speed down Mimika Ave.

“The car was going pretty rapid, maybe 80-90 mph,” said Davis.

Once the SUV hit the T-intersection of Mimika Ave. & Lillian Ave., the vehicle drove over the curb, up the petite hill or terrace of land in front of the house and launched into the air, landing on the roof of a residential home.

“He never took his foot off the gas. You could tell, he never took his foot off the gas,” said Davis.

Davis described the unidentified driver as a masculine in his 40s.

“He was just glad to be alive. You could tell he had a duo of cracked bones. It was visible, a lot of blood,” said Davis.

The St. Louis Fire Department said the driver was trapped in his car for about an hour before he was extricated. The SUV sat on the roof for another three hours, before a towing company pulled it down.

The holder of the home told News four he was at the gym when his neighbor called and said, “Bruce, you got to get back here.” Bruce said he is in disbelief but in good spirits. He also said everyone from very first responders to the Crimson Cross has been excellent in attempting to help him out.

The possessor also said he recently paid off the house.

Neighbors said this is not the very first time a vehicle has ended up in this same yard.

“This is the 2nd time it’s happened since I’ve been here for six months,” said Angelo Bridges, who lives across the street from the crash. Both he and Davis said the intersection sees reckless driving all the time.

“People just speeding, not stopping for stop signs,” said Bridges.

“Our church fence has harm from a car accident that happened just a few weeks ago, but I’ve never seen anybody come that prompt,” said Davis.

The city placed a fourth stop sign at this intersection after the very first crash last month, but since the 2nd one, the neighbors say that’s not enough to prevent the problem. “They need to put some speed bumps or something down,” said Bridges.

Authorities are still investigating how the car managed to get into the roof of the home.
